    We are in the heart of the Karst front, immersed in a rocky and green landscape at the same time, which besides its characteristic geomorphological and natural beauty hosts, like embedded shards, monuments, commemorative plaques, and markers that testify to the passage and death of many men also in these splendid places, so different from the mountain landscapes of the earlier stages. The railway along which one will proceed, designed to supply men at the front with everything they might need, is just one of these. It stands out like a scar that leads the tourist once again to immerse themselves in the reality of those times that must never be forgotten.

    Author’s recommendation

    Štanjel, located 9 km from Komen, is one of the oldest settlements of the Karst, interesting for its historic part and the military cemetery.

    Roadbook

    The stage starts from the Karst village of Lokvica crossing the Open-air Museum of the Pečinka Cave, passing by the military road leading to Kostanjevica na Krasu, skirting the IR 43 marker and Boroević's throne as well as the remains of the Segeti military camp and many other commemorative plaques and monuments until reaching the village where it overlaps and partly skirts the remains of the old Austro-Hungarian supply railway. From Kostanjevica, it proceeds towards Teminica and the hamlet of Lipa. From Lipa, it continues towards Sveto, encountering various military cemeteries testament to the different national compositions within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The last stretch, a couple of kilometers, leads into the village of Komen.
